Section 706.3746 - Electronic taximeter; amber light; enforcement1. A certificate holder shall equip each taxicab that the certificate holder is authorized to operate with an electronic taximeter. If the taximeter uses an "LED" or "LCD" display, all phases of the "LED" or "LCD" digits must work properly.2. The face of the taximeter must be of sufficient transparency and situated in such a location that the fare recording device can be read by any passenger in the taxicab and must not be obstructed. Numerals on the face of a taximeter must be displayed in a color that allows the numerals to be read from outside the taxicab.3. A certificate holder shall equip each taxicab that the certificate holder is authorized to operate with at least one amber light which is located on the roof of the taxicab and is plainly visible. This light must connect to a contact switch attached to the taximeter and must illuminate automatically when the taximeter is not in operation. This light must operate independently from the cruising light described in NAC 706.3742 and is considered part of the taximeter.4. In addition to the amber light described in subsection 3, each electronic taximeter must be connected to an amber light located in the rear window of the taxicab and the light must be visible through all windows of the taxicab. This light must be visible during the daylight from a distance of 100 feet. This light must illuminate automatically when the taximeter is not in operation and is considered part of the taximeter.5. If the Authority determines that a certificate holder has failed to equip or maintain a taxicab as required pursuant to this section, the Authority will: (a) Cause the taxicab in regard to which the violation occurred to be withdrawn from service; and(b) Impose upon the certificate holder an administrative fine pursuant to NRS 706.771. A taxicab withdrawn from service pursuant to this subsection must not be placed back in service until the Authority inspects the taxicab and verifies that the violation has been corrected.
